Join our Founder’s Society

Just as Brother de Paul created his legacy by founding House of Charity, you can create yours by including House of Charity in your will to ensure that we continue to feed and house the hungry and homeless in Minneapolis.

The Founder’s Society is an honor society established this year to recognize those who have included House of Charity in their estate plans. We invite you to join.

Members receive several benefits, including a certificate and an insider’s news update each year. The most important benefit is the knowledge that you are part of the group who will strengthen our mission in the years to come.

Make a Tribute Gift

A tribute gift creates a lasting remembrance of a loved one and of that person’s special significance to the donor. Honor gifts are often used to recognize or show appreciation for a person or special occasion. The sentiments behind the gift can be as varied as honoring a birthday or anniversary, celebrating someone’s sobriety, or showing appreciation for someone’s support.

To make an honor or memorial gift, please include a note with your donation.

Donate Stock

A gift of appreciated stock is one way to support House of Charity while receiving tax benefits. House of Charity has brokerage accounts set up to make giving easy and convenient. Our development staff will be happy to work with you and your financial advisers to discuss gifts of stock and to assist with stock transfers.
